Description: A review of the Lego Mindstorms NXT Remote for PocketPC, a tool allowing remote control of robots via Bluetooth.

 <p>Today I've been searching for more missing software to install into my new PDA-phone, and one that I didn't tested on my old PDA was <a href="http://www.norgesgade14.dk/pocketremote.php">NXT Remote/Pocket Remote</a>, a small tool that allows remote control of <a href="http://mindstorms.lego.com/">Lego Mindstorms NXT</a> robots via Bluetooth.</p> <p>Setting up the connection is quite easy (there are step-by-step instructions on the application's website), and it works really nice!</p> <p>Here is how the application looks:</p> <p><img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/nxt_remote_pocketpc.jpg" mce_src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/nxt_remote_pocketpc.jpg"> </p> <p>Now I can chase my dog with my robotic creations!</p> <p> </p> <p>Note: The tool I used for the screenshot is <strong>Pocket Controller Professional</strong>. it is a "remote desktop"/VNC for PocketPC, with skins and some handy tools like a Registry Editor, a Task Manager or a remote MS-DOS Console. Quite handy too if you're debugging your Compact Framework applications from VS2005 directly on the device.</p>
